Shape Map throws error

Hi,

I've made a .json file of all postalcode areas in the Netherlands.

However, when I load it up into Shapemap I get the following error.

Shape map postcode probleem.PNG

It says "unexpected error" I've send a frown but I suspect this is quicker. 

I've lined the map with WGS 84 in QGIS after which it finally mapped out properly

I got 8 GB of RAM, if that's any help

Here you can find my .json file.  

 

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

Kind regards,

 

Bram Dekker

@Anonymous,

What version of Power BI Desktop do you use? Could you please share sample data of your table so that I can create the map visual?

I am unable to reproduce your issue in the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.55.5010.641 64 bit) using your JSON file and my own sample data.

Regards,
Lydia

Hi, 

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Weirdly enough, I am able to reproduce it in my original powerBI file but when I do it again in a new file.

Seems to be that my original .pbix was corrupted somehow. 
Anyway ,it now works.

 

Thanks for thinking with me.

 

Cheers,


Bram
